Abstract excerpt
Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is a multifunctional cytokine with an important role in immunity. We analyzed the effect of recombinant human IL-6 in combination with 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (Vit. D3) on differentiation of the human myeloid leukemic cell lines U937 and HL-60 with respect to alterations in antigen expression and functional activity. Of a panel of antigens analyzed, only CD11b (the alpha chain of CR3),...
